I'll start with the (short version) then, anyone who has the interest or the time to read it can scroll down to my synopsis at the bottom of this post and enjoy my entire story and the many new, great links I found.

My HUD housing; $95 a month rent, apartment building went smoke free.

No one told me until a new manager was hired. Then; she threatened to evict me, even though smoking was allowed, five years ago when I moved in. They changed the rules. Apparently they're allowed to do this, or not?

In the end, I didn't get evicted.

I complied with their demand to not smoke on the property. Now; my Landlord, knows me personally, not just by reputation, joining the crowd, of those who love me. Of course, some others don't.

I went to Court. I gave the Building Owner a copy of the paid receipt for my vaporizer. We shook hands and building manager, even gave me a ride home.

Owner; coincidentally, also happens to be a Lawyer. (So convenient). I recognized him from around the buildings, town and the manager called him "Counselor".

It took a lot of effort, finding a vaporizer that works with loose tobacco and then figuring out, how to use it correctly (all in the middle of a hot as heck summer and an eviction threat drama), but I did it. I finally succeeded!

I wrote and gave the Building Owner: an 8 page statement about why they had no case legally. But, the owners had me at, smoking is a big fire hazard.

I live around mostly very elderly senior citizens who would be impossibly hard to evacuate.

Yeah; I wasn't touching this one, for sure.

I do not want to set any kind of legal precedent that people can smoke. Or not smoke, either.

But I did help set one precedent. One, that recognizes vaporizing as being allowed in all non-smoking residences. Even in Federally assisted, HUD Housing (where I live).

That's what is says on the legal paper the building owner and I signed. That vaporizing is allowed. So that's good.

For example; Medical Marijuana, Patients, cannot be refused permission to consume it, as it's a medicine.
But, building owners can prohibit smoking it.

ie, The pens, are really made to use with cannabis and other light density herbs.

From my experience, the dry herb pens work, ok, for a light smoker. A person who smokes five to 10 cigarettes a day. (Like someone who wants to step out in a work situation and grab a quick 15-20 puffs, and doesn't want to smell like cigarettes afterward, who doesn't have the time, or want to smoke an entire cigarette). Besides cannabis, this is another use for the vaporizer pens.

Dry herb vaporizer pens will not work well for someone who constantly needs tobacco/nicotine vapor on demand, people who smoke a pack and a half a day.

Vaporizer pens usually run on batteries. The batteries stay charged, aprox one hour. More expensive pens have a battery charge of 3 hours.

Battery charge is not long enough for a heavy, pack a day plus smoker. They all take 4 to 5 hours to re-charge and one has to press a button every time they want a couple of puffs.

They say the charge lasts for 1,000 puffs. That's with cannabis or the e-juice.

Not my experience with tobacco.

♥♥♥

First of all; anyone wanting to vaporize should discuss it with their Doctor. Have a physical etc.

Especially with the liquid (e-juice) vaporizers.

For nicotine, the e-juice pens are the easiest to use but have caused allergic reactions to some people.

Because the e-juice liquid has glycerine and alcohol in it.

I can't use e-cigs or e-juice vaporizer pens because I'm seriously allergic to glycerine (I get boils). Good thing I didn't try them.

I don't even drink. I had my gallbladder removed in 2003 and am very allergic to any kind of alcohol and have many food allergies too.

There are lots of good, cheaper vaporizer pens for just cannabis. Almost any one will work with marijuana. Some of the less expensive dry herb pens, are really going to mostly combust the herb. That's ok too. At least there's no toxic paper and way less smell.

Vaporizing with tobacco, it's kind of like using an enclosed pipe. (Vaporizer review videos; showing people getting huge clouds of smoke, is, because they're smoking cannabis, not tobacco).

There are a lot of discussion out there about smoking (combusting) cannabis, or vaporizing it?

But,vaporizing with cannabis is what vaporizers were really meant for.

IMO vaporizing it is better.Vaporizers release significantly more Cannabinoids from the marijuana without the need for combustion and without the waste, that comes with burning.

Combusted smoke contains up to 88% non-cannabinoid material where vaped weed is made up of 95% cannabinoids.You get much more puffs vaporizing rather than combusitng cannabis. 75% more puffs. With combustion, you burn the herb. It's gone.

Vaporizing works like a convection oven. The heat; releases the oils, into a vapor.

With convection the vapor stays in the vaporizer hose, until you draw/puff on it.

In a vaporizer with heat control. You set the chamber for the amount of vapor you want by adjusting the temperature.

Also; you don't get lethargic, weak and the high is elevated to a stronger level.

I don't know if I'm doing it correctly or not, I usually, get good vapor at 445f with tobacco.

I put it on a paper plate to dry.

Synopsis

My HUD housing complex went smoke free. I moved in with smoking allowed. Now I've been told I am no longer allowed to smoke in the apt and on the property.

So, I had a building manager inspecting every couple of weeks. Every time; she would say; "I smell smoke, if I smell smoke the next time I'm here, I'm going to evict you."

I was like, "what"???

Well they did it, the Sheriff was at my door! Showed up on a fri night, at 5:30pm.

The property manager had given me a notice to quit 30 days previously.

My advice to anyone If a landlord gives you a "Notice To Quit", that's the 30 day notice of eviction. Lawyer up immediately!

In 30 days the Sheriff will be at your door with an eviction notice, then you'll have aprox 3 or 4 days to bring or overnight mail the court a completed form, called a "ticket to appear" which says you'll be at the hearing.

Also the landlord could file any place in the state he owns property. ie 60 miles away.

So; besides returning the ticket to appear to the Court you could also have to send, what's called a "change of venue" request to be able to go to the Court in your immediate area. (mail overnight guaranteed mail $20 US Post Office, return receipt required). If you don't return these forms to the court by the date on the summons, they will come and padlock your apartment, throw you out immediately and you'll have to fight to get your possessions.

Tricky part they pulled on me was, they filed in a town, 40 miles away.

I had a Seniors Lawyer, recommended by my local Seniors Center. They are a 501 funding is low and they are very busy. So she could only advise me and mediate a little. This was an easy case since I was complying. Not just as fast as property management wanted me to.

This Lawyer sent me the forms and talked the Senior Center Lady through showing me how to fill them out and send them.

It's not whether one knows they have a winning case or not, it's the technicalities of the law, that are, what trips one up.

You got to have a Lawyer! Unless you can't get a Lawyer, never pro se (do it yourself) a case.

I heard that people who start vaporizing often are able to stop smoking tobacco completely.

I feel much better already.

Smoking is dirty and passe'.

Not having to worry; if I'm burning the apartment down when I go out, or to sleep at night, is "Priceless!"

Conclusion

Buying a vaporizer is a little investment up front, but saves a lot in the long run.

The V Tower works fabulously, with the tobacco.

Jonathan; at Vapor Nation Customer service, said sometimes it takes people a couple of days to learn how to use it.

I've got it working now. I'm, starting to get good puffs now. Secret is very dry tobacco. I don't even grind mine. Just break it up with my hand. Also important that, the elbow adapter and it's screen are kept clean.

I don't know if vaporizing would satisfy every tobacco user. I only smoked ultra-light cigarettes and they, were too strong for me. I couldn't breath half the time.

It took me a month or two in order to stop craving the other many chemicals in factory manufactured cigarettes.

I wanted to share this with everyone.

I also wanted to share this, honest vaporizer company. All the salespeople are so nice and helpful. We've become friends. I message them any questions I had and they always have the answer.

So; I wrote this for myself and to pass it along; to anyone who might have a need, or want to vaporize.

★★★★★Vapor Nation, Great Sales, Good Warranty.

A really cool company out in California. I got 20% off V Tower so it only cost $119.99 and had free shipping. I also got 5 free gifts.

Arizer is a good product. With Vapor Nations 20% off Summer Sale, V Tower kept me from getting evicted.

I would definitely purchase an extra Arizer Whip Kit $22.99. To keep one clean and use one.

Apparently; they, (property owners/landlords), can, change change the rules. The wording in my lease; is like "double talk," so I figured it, could mean, anything.

I listened to my friends who are way smarter than I when they said comply and vaporize. That fighting would be too much work. That, Smokers don't get any sympathy.

Now; after having researched cigarette smoke and the poisons in it and not smoking for almost 2 years,
I do understand why non-smokers, (people with children, etc), don't want to be around cigarette smoke.

Since I no longer smoke, I can see the difference in the air in my apartment. It was a toxic cloud of cigarette smoke 24/7.

I do feel sorry for anyone who smokes.

It's a terrible, expensive, poisonous habit.

But vaporizing works.

I found the hardest part was kicking the chemicals contained in the factory made cigarettes.
